Re: From a C-47 crash site. Someone can help us?
Matteo,

Thanks to Randy on the armyairforces.com website I heard that PFC Loney Portee, one of the victims mentioned above, belonged to Bravo Company, 366th Inf Regiment, 92nd Inf Div.

The men were at first buried at the American Military Cemetery at Naples.

There are some websites and also veterans organizations dedicated to 366th Inf Regiment.

I gathered that in July 1944 the 366th was still attached to 15th Air Service Command and provided airbase security to stations in Sardinia and along the Adriatic.

Regards,

Leendert
